The owners of a Honda CRV contacted the Greenwood Village PD to report that their vehicle had been stolen.  

A police officer verified the theft and had the vehicle information entered into the state and federal crime computers.  This routine action on the part of law enforcement automatically activated the LoJack® System concealed in the Honda.

Less than an hour later officers with the Denver PD picked up the silent LoJack homing signals coming from the stolen Honda with the LoJack Police Tracking Computers (PTCs) that are installed in patrol vehicles and aircraft.  

Following the directional and audible cues from the PTCs, these officers tracked the vehicle to the 1400 block of North Mariposa Street.  The vehicle was unoccupied and was towed for safe-keeping to be returned to the owners.

Follow up investigation by Greenwood Village detective has disclosed a potential suspect in this case.

The LoJack® System was installed in the Honda in 1997 at the request of a previous owner of the CRV.
